hi pips!
i have a customer that i do fire alarms and e/m lighting for, she lets her propertys out.. she has asked me to do the inspections, i assume that you do a visual inspection and not a test! do i have to be PART P? can i pick the certs up from the wholeseller? also if i can do this, whats the going rate? many thanks for any advise.....

It usually involves inspection, testing and issuing a Periodic Inspection Report which should consist of a PIR, schedule of inspections and a schedule of test results.
You don't need to be a member of a competent person scheme to do PIRs but you should check your insurances.
As you are not aware of the requirements you might be better taking a back seat!

depends what they want, visual if that's what they ask for, but normally inspect & test with possible limitations agreed beforehand, do you have insurance & 2391?

Rather than auuming things, you need to find out exactly what this person wants.

Could be anything from a simple visual inspection taking half an hour to a full inspection and test of everything which could easily take a whole day or more.
